Ayn Rand (really Alissa Rosenbaum) was a fascist. And her books are fascist propaganda.

So you people who put Atlas Shrugged on the book part of your online profiles? You are automatically ix-nayed. It's a sign of complete retardation.

Especially if you profess that you're a liberal.

Repeat after me: Ayn Rand was a fascist. Ayn Rand was a fascist.

Now read TBogg.

UPDATE: More on Rand here and here.
